The fauna, flora and landscapes of the Dean in pictures

Wild Boar, Forest of Dean

Here’s another wild boar shot taken during the recent snowfall. The snow presents no problem to the boar at all – they’re well insulated with their double coats, and their snouts dig straight through it to reach the food beneath. This boar had a trail of Robins following him around taking advantage of the exposed soil. I recorded some video of a different boar feeding surrounded by Robins which is here.
